Just a note perhaps better to remove the email because of spammers and do it via PM instead ..Clive

Hi again

Thanks for tip on spamming. How do i send a PM ?

If you look at the top of the page you will see a link for (My Profile) if you click on that you will find the link to send private message. ..Clive

manofgresley: I'll take some photos later and PM you.

Here's a couple of pictures and a video of the motor running. Note that when increasing the speed, the motor "kicks" in about 2 or 3 spots through the speed range. It doesn't do it when reducing the speed. Not really sure why it does that but it's always been the same from brand new. I'm guessing it's a characteristic of the Chinese copies of the KB boards? It's never caused a problem as the motor runs smoothly if the pot is turned slightly past the "kick" point. Can anyone advise on this?

Perhaps a faulty pot or dirt on the slider on the pot. ..Clive

The machine has always done that since new...I just assumed it was a "feature" of the Chinese electrics rather than a fault?
